Captain James Christie of the United States Army Air Forces has returned to his home in Texas with a Distinguished Flying Cross earned from being a bomber pilot in the ETO. Prior to meeting the Governor of Texas in Austin, James's father relates the story of his grandfather Corpus Christi Jim.

Following the War Between the States, Jim and 3 fellow Confederate soldiers are unable to find work. They rob a stagecoach for a grubstake to set them up. Jim faces down dishonest gambler Wade Larkin and wins his saloon in a card game. He returns the money they robbed from the stagecoach, but Larkin's henchmen and the law are still after Jim.
